It must be acknowledged, howev e r; th a t t h e speakers in general were of a very different deSerip t'ion, in . point of rank - and weight•in the 'country; from, those ..who were conspicuous at the latter Fleeting. _ Earl ST.

Mr: - WESTERN then read the Address, and -was followed by Mr: DU CANE, who pursued the line. of observation adopted by the Noble Lord, and was Very vehement in condemning the Convention. [A tumult then arose, on account of the crowd without, and the Meeting adjqurned to the area be fbre the Court-yard.] Mr. BURGOYNE took the same ground. Mr. CONYERS contended, that after his Majesty's late Answer, an Address would .be au insult to the Throne. • Mr. BRAMSTONE ably supported the opinions of the last. Speaker. Mr. 'WILLIAM SMITH supported the Address. Mr. HARVEY was against it, and Mr. HALL took the contrary side. Amotion for Adjourn ment had previously taken place, and after much more debate, the 'he SHERIFF put the question of adjournment, by desiring that all who were for the Petition should go over to his right hand, and those who were for the adjournment should go to the left. The majority appeared for the adjournment, and consequently the original motion was lost. • l EXTRACT FROM THE MADRID GAZETTE OF OCT. I.

By Letters received by this conveyance, we are informed that the Islands were not unanimous in their acknowldgement of kEe , bt NAND the VIIt h. The Governor of Grand Canary, who is in fad a Frenchman, had prevailed over a great body of his adherents to resist all new dodrines - ' this was strongly opposed by t h e l oya l f r i ends of FER DINAND VII. but the French had the advantage; they dissolved the Junta of the bland, and im . prisoned.some of the Members attached to the new cause.; theisland was a scene of confusion, and the people 'were fearful the whole would end in a civil broil. ..,.

MANLIUS (ONONDOGA), AUG. 2.—We hear f?nm Oswego, that on Thursday last application was made to Mr. BURT, Custom-house Officer at that place, to obtain a clearance for two boats for Saeket's harbour, which was reflised. The owners of the boats as sured Mr. B. that they should depart the first fair wind, and advised him to conduit. accordingly. In the course of the following night, the weather. per mitting, they made sail. Muskets were discharged at the boats, and the fire returned. No damage, however, was sustained. When day-light appear ed a boat was dispatched with eighteen or nineteen armed men, to bring in these piratical vagrants ; but when overtaken, they discovered such a disposition to defend themselve s ( e i g h t i n number), that it was judged prudent, to let them proceed, and thus pre vent the effusion of blood. On' Sandny evening the Hon. DAi. BRADLEY received a letter, express from ,Mr. BURT, solicit ing the aid of 50 to enforce the e mbargo law, stating, that unless the ,requ i re d ass i s t ance could be had within four days, he should be Ob liged to quit his station, as he, had been threaten ed, &C. THE BLESSINGS OF EMBARGOES. - - We hear from Roxbury, that a few days since a fracas happened between two Magistrates of a neigh bouring county. It'originated, we are informed, in some observations respetting the beneficial results of Mr. .TEFFERSON'S omnipotent Embargo. One of the combatants, who is also a conspicuous Member of Congress, Chief Justice, &c. &c. thinking hid op ponent a confirmed . politiCal heretic, endeavoured, as we are told, with the true spirit of democratic freedom and modern philanthropy, , to correa the squeamish stomach of his antagonist, and forCe him, with fisty cuffs, to digest this last strong dose of phi losophical quackery. Although we believe this ho nourable pugilist took the most promising means of Making his prescription palatable, as he is well cal culated by nature for deducing those highly polite and, convincing argument s ;• yet we understand hi s hOnour's" proboscis bears evident marks of " op pugnacion, and -.his ports of vision are now suffer ing ;under a distressing, though partial Embargo. , --.

The application of Colonel MAcLEOD, of 'lvolbecks (who was one of those that experienced the kindness of Geneial BRENIER, in the most particular manner), to be permitted to visit him, and to con vey to him the relief and consolation that the situa tion of a wounded prisoner of war so much requites, we're acceded to by Lord CASTLEREAGH in the most prompt and cordial manner. CoIoneI,MACLEOD ac cordingly visited the General at Wantage, and was received by him with tears Of surprise and joy; for the General, on enquiring after tti .Colonel on his, landing at Portsmouth, had been led by some mis representation or misconception, to think that he was the Colonel MAdLEoll who'had been killed in Egypt. On Colonel MACLEOD'S return to town, he represented to the Minister of the War Departinent; that General BRENIER'S health reqnired comfortable accomModation and agreeable society, and Lord CASTLEEEAG4 immediately ordered passports to be ntfacle out for Cheltenham, where, by the benefit of the *titers, but still more b 7 the kind solicitude with which the family of Colonel 1.1/4cLaorl will study to repay the polite and friendly attentions he received from Madame BRIiNIER acid ber family, it is to be hoped.that the General's health will be soon com pletely restored.
